Starr Forum: Iraq and the Failings of the Corporate Media
Greg Mitchell comes to MIT to talk about his latest book,
"So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits—and the President—Failed in Iraq," which chronicles the failings of the corporate media coverage of the war in Iraq.
Mitchell is the editor of Editor & Publisher where he writes the column "Pressing Issues," and is the author of eight books.
"So Wrong for So Long," published February 2008, has received a tremendous response, ranging from appearances on Jim Lehrer NewsHour, NPR and Democracy Now! to reviews in the L.A. Times and Vanity Fair online.
"Greg Mitchell has given us a razor-sharp critique of how the media and the government connived in one of the great blunders of American foreign policy. Every aspiring journalist, every veteran, every pundit—and every citizen who cares about the difference between illusion and reality, propaganda and the truth, and looks to the press to help keep them separate—should read this book. Twice." -Bill Moyers
